It is the year’s when the snow arrives just before Christmas that tickles my heart most. The earth seems cleansed by the white blanket it creates. Santa can easily propel his sleigh, reaching my home to create his magic under our tree. The Christmas lights take on a mystical glow as they glisten through the veil of white.
This is one of those years. The snow began to arrive today, one day before Christmas Eve. It has been snowing since this morning. One foot of snow has blanketed the earth around us in 12 hours. My family’s Christmas event has been canceled… driving is a challenge. The word blizzard is buzzing in the air. We definitely are home for the night.
